I am unaware of whether they are eligible or not. I don't actually care. In my opinion they should all be playing for GB. It is outrageous that this number of players should be allowed to play for a different country, when there are AT LEAST 10 players committed to playing, (eight of whom have tickets). How will womens ultimate in GB ever improve if the more experienced players defect to other teams? There should be stronger support within the BUF for situations like this, perhaps the creation of a national womens league, and encouragement for more geo-based womens teams. GB SHOULD BE REPRESENTED AT VANCOUVER Diana Worman (Mohawks) >
